IGOR Descriptiona[0] first point, index from 0, not 1a[0], a(0) [point scaling], (x scaling)
setscale/P x,0,0.1,"sec",a sets x scaling to 10 Hz, display a will display it with this scaling correct onthe x-axis
aa[0] == AA[0] == aA[0] ==Aa[0] Caps don't matter
$ turn string into a name
function stringIntoWave(str)
string str
WAVE w = $str
display w
end
Example of $ and WAVE assignment in function
Wavestats/R=() or [] /Q (infunction)
Really useful, /R for range, /Q for quiet; return V_numpnts, V_avg,V_sdev, V_max, V_maxloc, V_min, V_minlo, etc.all variables that can be immediately used
b[0,10][][] = a[p][q][r] references in assignements to rows (p), columns (q), planes (r)make a = p makes 128 wave a = {0,1,2,3...}variable var = 10 makes variable var = 10string str = "Igor Pro" makes string str = "Igor Pro"
WAVE wNVAR varSVAR str
Local references to global waves (waves are automatically global), globalvariables, and global strings
